for stainless guns I recommend using a lube that will smooth operation a little. I use a mixture containing a few drops of STP oil treatment and your favorite gun oil on my .44 cal Automag that is stainless. I heard it helps prevent galling of the stainless and it sure is slick to the touch... I read this in an old article on the Automag pistol years ago. It works for me. After firing I always clean any residue before storing the weapon...

Experiment on the mixture for lubrication ... If you hang around an autoparts store you can probably find an empty STP can (or equivilent) at the trash barrel with enough in it to mix with your choice of lubrication

If the SS Luger is one of the early ones, I believe that it will use standard Luger magazines, but if of later manufacture, it is not the same... but particular to AIMCO...

Best,

John
